The main issue I have is what he doesn’t penalise !!! He pulled us for everything but chose to ignore head high shots and offsides from hull . Especially in that first half !! Fantastic recovery from Wakefield though .. played some really good rugby when we were allowed to !!

And this was the issue for me totally inconsistency from the ref.

Typical blinkered response from Upthecats, and views like his is why mediocrity is the best we can hope for. Chester has achieved nothing for the club and his win ratio and lack of silverware shows that, we've won 5 out of the last 20 league games. How anyone can defend that abysmal win rate is beyond me.

You may have also missed the part where I said that we had an improved second half, but still lost

Being fair some of the penalties against us in the first half were due to our usual dumb selves BUT there were two clear head shots Hull got away with and the penalty on the stroke of half time was laughable.
We were as good as Hull overall, scored more tries than them and DESERVED a point, but for the half wit who thought of the 'golden point' crap we'd have a point in the bag,.
I don't speak from sour grapes, I've been against the stupid rule since it came out. Another moronic call by compulsory seasonal rule changers.

And how on earth is it ever going to be any different when so called fans like you don’t go to games?

5,500 there last night on a Friday night...good following from Hull...we won our only other home game against Warrington and coming in off the back of a good win at Salford...

While Hull are going out and signing the likes of Jones, Fonua, M’au, Sao, Satae we’re signing the likes of Westerman, Pitts, Walker, Josh Wood...and you are slagging our coach off for not winning things?

Maybe the club should reflect on why they're getting such low attendances and listen to the fans which have stopped going instead of the ones who continue to go.

Easier to get childs in and ask where we are going wrong when hes officiating then get chester to really emphasise the importance of not doing niggly 50 50s he pulls us for so much and we may win when we get him as ref

Ok Willzay,i'll do it your way.
When Child name is down for reffing at Belle Vue,you just know it's not going to end well.

If you don't watch anymore how can you comment on the way we play, is this how you support the club then by coming on here slating everything Wakefield Trinity despite your own admission that you've done with the club, or are you supporting the club from afar by campaigning to get the coach sacked and at the same time not contributing financially like all the rest of the stay away's, if you were a true fan as you claim to be you'd stop feeling sorry for yourself and support the club irrespective of your differences.

I don't think it's healthy or fair to get the same ref say 2 or 3 times out of 5 or 6 games, but that's also the point, there aren't enough refs full stop! With Thaler stood down that doesn't help either, although we never get him anyway, it seems we get Child alternating with Moore, then a new guy who's done about 2 games in his life!!

Maybe Child could have made a better effort at stopping Fonua for Hull's first try and made a better effort at claiming the high ball for Hull's second try?

No but maybe he could have pulled the highshot on walker coming away from own line when 12 6 down

Even my mate who came over from Malta, commented on the overall standard of refereeing, and he watched both the Leeds game and our game, in a neutral perspective, and said that the standard is poor.

He also couldn't believe that there isn't a video ref at every game.

So this event happened after the lacklustre efforts that put us 12-6 down.
Great logic.

I support the club financially, more so than many. I buy from the club shop regularly and I have Trinity TV to watch games back. I just decided to refuse to go and watch the games live while Chester is in charge, and I'm far from the only one who has made the same decision.

As I've said, I support the club and will continue to do so as I have for so many years, but I'm not supporting the current coach.
